Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 773

The night was deep, and Lin Fan had fallen asleep on the sofa when suddenly his phone vibrated, waking him up. Lin Fan picked up the phone to see that it was a call from Chen Lingling.

Lin Fan got up, glanced into Liu Mengjie’s room, and seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he walked onto the balcony and answered the call.

"Lingling?" Lin Fan asked curiously, wondering why Chen Lingling was calling him so late.

It seemed he hadn’t been in touch with Chen Lingling for a while. Previously, he had entrusted an animation company to her management, and she had been busy with a movie project, making a film about Nezha, and was occupied every day. Lin Fan didn’t want to disturb her and only occasionally chatted a bit on WeChat when he had the time.

Receiving a call from Chen Lingling in the middle of the night was indeed a surprise.

Chen Lingling asked, "Brother Fan, where are you? Have you already gone to sleep? Do you have time now?"

Lin Fan replied, "Hmm, what’s going on?"

Chen Lingling said, "I’m at the Company, rushing a project tonight. I just finished, and I haven’t been home for a few days, but I heard something happened in the district. I’m a little scared. Can you come and pick me up?"

Chen Lingling also lived in the Lijing District.

Lin Fan sighed and said, "Alright, wait for me, and I’ll come to get you."

After hanging up, Lin Fan went again to the door of Liu Mengjie’s room. Seeing her sleeping, he recalled staying there tonight because there was an incident in the district, and Liu Mengjie was scared, so he stayed to accompany her.

Now that Liu Mengjie was asleep and everything seemed fine, he could leave with peace of mind.

Lin Fan quietly left Liu Mengjie’s home and headed to the animation Company.

Arriving at the entrance of the animation Company, a familiar figure was already waiting for him there.

Despite how busy Chen Lingling had been during this time, the work hadn’t worn her down; she was still as beautiful and adorable as a two-dimensional girl who had walked out of a manga.

"Lingling, long time no see." Lin Fan got out of the car and smiled.

"Brother Fan!"

Chen Lingling, cheerful like a little bunny, ran over and jumped into Lin Fan’s arms, happily hugging him.

"Brother Fan, I finally see you. I’ve missed you, do you know?" Chen Lingling said.

With such warmth in his arms, it was hard not to feel happy. Lin Fan smiled and said, "Now I know."

Chen Lingling’s cheeks flushed as she realized she might have been too enthusiastic, feeling a bit shy. "Brother Fan, please take me home. I haven’t slept well for days. I can only sleep peacefully at home, but everyone in the district group is talking about an incident."

Lin Fan said, "I know."

Chen Lingling was surprised, "Brother Fan, how do you know? Oh, did you see it on trending searches? This issue is trending. A person in red clothes falling, it’s too scary."

"Yes." Lin Fan nodded, secretly sweating, as he almost let it slip that he was in Lijing District.

However, letting it slip was no big deal. He and Chen Lingling weren’t in a romantic relationship, and there was nothing special with Liu Mengjie either. If asked, Lin Fan would honestly tell Chen Lingling the truth.

"Let’s go, Lingling. I’ll take you home." Lin Fan said.

Then Chen Lingling followed Lin Fan into the car, smiling cunningly behind him.

An incident had occurred in the district, and she was indeed a bit scared, but not to the point where she wouldn’t dare to go home. Despite her gentle appearance, she quite bravely.

She had asked Lin Fan to pick her up because she wanted to see him, finally finding the perfect excuse to meet Brother Fan.

She missed Brother Fan so much, thinking about him all the time, but she was too busy with projects, often working from morning till night, even staying overnight frequently at the film set, leaving her no time to look for Brother Fan. She also knew that Brother Fan was quite busy, without any special reasons to meet him.

Tonight was a rare moment of leisure, as she worked late into the night and was going home to sleep when she saw news in the district group about the incident with the woman in red clothes falling.

Chen Lingling had a sudden thought and called Lin Fan.

Brother Fan was so kind; he came to pick her up in the middle of the night after receiving her call. She was overjoyed.

"Brother Fan, what have you been up to lately? I heard you’re getting into the car industry; that’s amazing..."

As soon as Chen Lingling got in the car, she started chatting with Lin Fan without pause, from asking about Lin Fan’s recent activities to reporting on her own, discussing the challenges and interesting aspects of making a film...

It was clear she had a lot to talk about.

Lin Fan learned that her Nezha movie was progressing very smoothly and was in intense production. It was expected to be released in about a year, which was already very fast, considering some other films take three, five, or even ten years.

The main reason Chen Lingling’s film went so smoothly was because of Lin Fan. With Lin Fan, money was not an issue.

Having money was indeed beneficial as some films were stalled halfway due to a lack of funds, requiring constant investment hunting, making progress naturally slow.

Lin Fan, however, was focused not on the film but on the mention of "a year later."

It seemed he and Chen Lingling would only be able to take a step further a year later—this was their original agreement.

Back in Lijing District, downstairs at Chen Lingling’s home, she appeared fearful and said, "Brother Fan, please come up with me. I’m scared. I heard from people in the group that those who die in red clothes become fierce ghosts in red clothes..."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Don’t listen to their nonsense. There’s no such thing as ghosts in this world, and besides, humans are scarier than ghosts. Let’s go; I’ll walk you upstairs."

Lin Fan then escorted Chen Lingling upstairs to her apartment.

"Brother Fan, do you remember the first time we met was here?" Chen Lingling smiled and said.

Lin Fan replied, "I remember."

The first time they met was when Lin Fan delivered takeout to Chen Lingling. At their first meeting, Chen Lingling was captivated by Lin Fan’s handsome appearance. She didn’t disdain him for being a delivery guy; instead, she fell in love with him at first sight.

This was one of the reasons Lin Fan was willing to befriend her. In this day and age, a woman who didn’t value wealth over love was hard to come by, especially one as extremely cute as a two-dimensional character.

Once inside, just as they sat down, the weather outside suddenly changed with a flash of lightning and thunder, as rain began to pour.

Seeing this, Chen Lingling was secretly pleased, thinking it was ideal. She said, "Brother Fan, look, it’s raining outside, and it’s so late; why don’t you..."

Just then, Lin Fan’s phone rang—it was a call from Liu Mengjie.

Lin Fan quietly sighed, knowing that the thunder must have woken Liu Mengjie.

"I need to take this call." Lin Fan said.

Chen Lingling replied, "Okay."

Lin Fan answered Liu Mengjie’s call.

"Little Fan, where are you? I’m so scared." Liu Mengjie said with a trembling voice; even through the phone, her panic was palpable.
